Superantispyware is free and very good. Also get Lavasoft ad-aware free edition. I have both on my computer and after running them the spyware programme I paid for, SpySweeper (which gets loads of awards,) doesn't find anything.
You can download them from: www.download.com.
Good antivirus software should also remove any spyware/trojans.
I use AOL Active Virus Scan. It's free and better than any of the 'paid for' anti virus I've used. (but you'd have to uninstall your current a/v before installing this.)

Scan the PC with standard antivirus software. If you do not have one, I can give a few links that offer free virus and spy ware removers...!You may be having a virus or spyware installed on your PC. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at

i had the same problem as you. i went to the Microsoft website and downloaded a free program called windows defender. it is a spyware remover. after it did a scan if found and deleted a file called zlob. after that the pop-up in the system tray went away. im hoping that did it.

Try the (free download) Spyware Terminator, sorry you will have to Google or similar for it, but I think it is a good addition to any computers protection.

Your computer probably has a Smitfraud infection. You will need to use a specialised removal tool such as SmitFraudFix v2.8:

or
